On the 18th, inst, at his home on Craun IS
Creek, Mr.. Levi Picker departed this life, aged
65 years, months and II days. A very large
concourse of relatives and friends followed the
remains to the cemetery at St. Mchaels
Church, and an able and impressive sermon
was delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Carnahan, of the
German Reform Church, of which deceased
was consistent member for many years. He
leaves q widow and seven children amply pro-
yided for. He was one of the most successful
farmers of our neighborhood, and honest and
upright in his dealings with his fellow men.
One by one the elders pass away and their
places are not easily filed by the young and
rising generation. No human tongue can tell
the suffering which he had to bear from the
effects of cancer kindred trouble of the
eye. but the summons came and he died with
out struggle. Even the family physician
and those attending him did not realize the
fact until life was extinct and his soul ha d
passed to the God VINO gave it.
We had the pleasure of enjoying, some time
since, family reunion at Mr.. F. s. Craun's near
Centreville-three married and two single
daughters. The delicious viands were dis

Mr.. G. Bargamin, agent, to whom was
awarded the contract for heating the jail
at cost of $3.50, has completed the job in
a most satisfactory manner. The entire
work has been executed upon the most ad.
vanced scientific principles, and is OF the
same class as that put up by him some
time since for Capt. w. III. Kable, OF
Staunton, E. M. Nettleton, of Covington,
and Gen1 G. W. G. Lee, of Lexington.
The jail has eight cells which are heated
by wall coils so firmly set that the strong
est man could not derange them. The
controlling valves to these heaters are IL
the basement cut Of reach of the inmates
and under the control of tee taller. BY
this means either one or all OF the cells
can be heated. Steam can be cut off en-
tireIy from any cell not in use, thereby saw
ing materially in the amount of fuel. The
front rooms, those occupied by the jailor
family, are provided with handsome bronze
radiators Of the most improved patterns
The boiler, one Of Gorton's Improved
heaters, is located in the basement, and il
provided with all of the automatic ap
planes, sc that it requires but little at
tention beyond supplying the fuel once il
"a hours.
We understand that Mr.. Bargamin has
contracted for the heating Of Fishburn'
School in Waynesboro, and also has
large contract on hand for steam heating
at Charlestown, W. Va. This fall he will
place one of these heaters in the residence
